THE COMING CONGRESS.

Mresof great importance to the South

the reduction OF the internal revenue;
and third. the education bill, whether
the Hlair or some other bill, he would
lot undertake to say. Yesterday Mr..
OF Dmll stood alone among the Vir-
gina members in opposing the House
retaliation bill. He says he has had
enough of war, and thinks that all of his
con ttutnts have.
Dr. O'feuall says that there is great
adi.iation for MIR. Carlisle's ability
and DDS fairness as presiding officer,
So iaras his rulings so, but that there is
SOM. dissatisfaction with him on the
uMd al rccognitiOns of individuals
to make motions.
Ar CoWirs says that if Mr. Carlisle

Dina vote hc viii have to make some
